Argue against me.

Or for me, if you will. I want to see what and how you think. I’ve put lots of thought into these things and have very set opinions on them. I want those opinions challenged.
So good, thoughtful, sound arguments, people!! Write what you really think and feel. Don’t be afraid of sounding stupid or offending someone or saying something that doesn’t make sense… none of that is possible.
Some of these theories are odd, because I happen to think too much. Just pick out one you think you could argue and go for it!! If you want me to explain one of my crazy thoughts, I will, but try to argue it first.

I’m slightly bored, and I’m in a more argumentative mood than normal because I’m a tad ticked off, and no one will ever argue with me. So it’s up to you guys :)
If you have a theory of your own that you want argued out, you know where to come :D

Love is the only rational emotion.

Beehives are a micro/macrocosm of everything (which I suppose implies that everything is a micro/macrocosm of everything else, but it’s easy to think of a beehive).

Ayn Rand’s theory of Objectivism is logically sound, but it is not the only logical way of life. It has an equally logical counterpart that it cannot combine with, but everyone does try to combine these to a certain extent, which can cause unhappiness.

Free will does not exist (although it’s hard to convince myself of that… this theory of mine is still in the works).

Enlightenment (in the Buddhist sense) does exist.

The Big Bang can be deduced from the theory of entropy.

Also, I have an odd theory about the connection between matter, antimatter, vacuums, gravity, and energy. What’s your opinion on this matter?

Lets go with the love is the only rational emotion.

No emotion is rational. rational means agreeable to reason; reasonable; sensible:

Love is not sensible ask anyone who is or has been in love.

I’m in love. Love itself is sensible. It’s the feelings that go along with it that are not. The other emotions are pointless and can only do harm. Love is the only emotion that it’s sensible to feel.

This quote is slightly off-topic, but it just shows how people get love confused with everything else:
Everyone says that love hurts, but that’s not true. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Everyone confuses these things with love, but, in reality, love is the only thing in this world that covers up all the pain and makes us feel wonderful again.

Love is not a rational emotion. When does anybody act rationally when they do things out of love? There is a common phrase “Drunk with Love” and it exists because love, like alcohol, will affect your perception of things. I think that Love by nature is irrational. But on that same note, no emotion should be described as rational.

Feelings are emotions thats why “Love is the only rational emotion” is flawed cuz what you did is take it out of context and if you do that to anger it to can be sensible
